Steve Earle
Hurting Me, Hurting You
[Verse 1]
Here I am, out in the rain
I know I can't ever wash out the pain
I never meant to be cruel or untrue
But I'm just hurting me when I'm hurting you
Girl I won't say, I'm hurting more
I know that you've heard all that before
So go on believe what you want to believe
But I'm hurting you then I'm hurting me
[Chorus]
I know it's hard to keep hanging on
You think that I hold all of the cards, I know you're wrong
And girl just like me, you ain't got a clue
I'm just hurting me when I'm hurting you
[Verse 2]
You know I love you baby, God only knows that I do
I know I've been bad baby
I never, ever meant to be bad to you
I never meant to be cruel or untrue
But I'm just hurting me when I'm hurting you
[Chorus]
